GAMEPLAY HINTS

Breaking the bars

On High Jump, do not press R1 going up the ramp. When you leave the ramp, and if you have enough air, you will go soaring through the bars and crash into the ground. Note: Your car will get totaled

Unlocking parts

You can unlock all the parts you want and upgrade your car to the max without having to cheat by just saving or earning a lot of money. Do previously completed races and bonus events to earn some cash, then buy a performance part. You will notice the next part of the same type (the better version of the one you just purchased) now becomes unlocked. If you keep buying every part you can find, more parts will keep becoming available for you to buy.

Nitro boost

To earn an easy nitro boost, do not try to plow through lots of big heavy objects on the side of the road. This only slows you down and you might get stuck in it. Instead, look for cones lining the track and hit those small cardboard boxes. Also signs are good to run through. These objects do not slow you down, and will earn nitro. Also, if you are going to slam into junk on a turn, try and slide sideways into it.

You more or less will slide or bounce of it, losing less speed and you will not get stuck. This also works well with roadside fences, where you can just rub up on them and knock them down sideways instead of ramming through them directly.

At the first race from the left list, hit the scaffolds under the bridge to get all the nitrous you can. Be careful; there is a ladder at the right scaffold. If you hit it, you will slow down a lot.
